The Yoga Refuge

The Reason for The Yoga Refuge:

There is no other place in the Houston area that offers yoga therapy or a place of refuge to patients. The Yoga Refuge is conveniently located to the renowned Medical Center making transportation to and from medical facilities easier. Our research has also shown that there are no other facilities for therapy of this type in the area. When someone is dealing with illness or chronic pain The Yoga Refuge will offer a place to leave the worries of their condition at the door for a little while. It will offer a respite from the daily struggle and a chance to let the Mind, Body and Spirit heal through the use of Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Meditation and Visualization. The Yoga Refuge must operate on a donated base so that it does not drain on the finances of patients already burdened by immense medical costs. No patient will be turned away due to a financial issue.

The Heart Behind The Yoga Refuge

Cheri Moran knows firsthand the devastation that chronic pain and illness brings to a person and to their family. Ongoing medical issues cripple families and relationships. This adds even more difficulty for patients to even relate to those they love the most because true emotions are clouded by pain and/or medication. Cheri has also seen firsthand the healing that Yoga and Yoga Therapy can provide. The use of medications can be reduced, stress reduced, a sense of control is gained and a deeper understanding and appreciation for the miracle of the human body and its resilience. Patients finally understand that they are not helpless in the face of disease and pain. Yoga empowers.

Our medical community makes wondrous strides in treating disease, but all too often the person is lost in the process. Once a "person" begins treatment they become a number, a diagnosis, a "patient" and all interactions start from that label. At The Yoga Refuge each person is just that "“ a person; with abilities, feelings and possibilities.

The Needs of The Yoga Refuge

The Yoga Refuge is located just south of Houston, Texas on six acres that has the gift of a secluded feeling. We are seeking to raise money to construct Phase I of the facility. Phase I will be a 16 x 24 foot space where donation based services/teaching will be offered. The funds donated will be used to purchase the materials for the building out of the space. The Yoga Refuge will use its volunteers to construct the space and save building cost.

The Yoga Refuge will eventually be comprised of this one studio space (phase one), with a goal to construct two small cabins (phase two). The mediation studio has already been construc
